Relax, just do it

A mattress that’s too soft can initially provide comfort but actually lacks the proper support, leading to back pain and other orthopedic problems

Sleep is a luxury especially for people who work long hours, whether online or offline. But sleep is essential to one’s health and productivi­ty. Time to rest and a good night’s sleep, therefore, matters. Here are some tips to help you maximize energy, avoid daytime restlessne­ss, and get some much-needed rest while staying safe in quarantine.

Stay active

Move more, sit less. Work up a sweat and wake up your body for a jolt of energy that can last you through the day. Even light exercise can help boost your overall mood, improve your memory and ensure that you’re ready to sleep well at night.

Whether you join an online fitness class, walk around your neighborho­od, climb a flight of stairs or just jog in place, you can enjoy the benefits of an active lifestyle at home.

Upgrade your mattress

It’s impossible to get a good night’s sleep if your mattress is not giving you the right support and comfort. The wrong bed can keep you tossing and turning all night, preventing you from finding a comfortabl­e position.

A mattress that’s too soft can initially provide comfort but actually lacks the proper support, leading to back pain and other orthopedic problems. On the other hand, a stiff mattress won’t be flexible enough to adapt to your specific body type.

Mattress manufactur­er, Sealy Postureped­ic provides absolute quality conformanc­e, comfort and support. Its revolution­ary patented spring technology, perfected over a span of 140 years, is the most advanced spring system in the mattress industry.

You can choose from a wide collection of orthopedic mattresses and five-star hotel-quality sets. For those who like their tech products, Sealy Philippine­s also carries the first and only springadju­stable bed system in the country.

Stick to a schedule

Find a daily routine that makes you excited to get out of bed in the morning, and leaves you satisfied and ready to climb back in at night.

While you’re at home, focus on activities that you can achieve and practice consistent­ly. This could be as simple as eating a full breakfast, stretching before the workday, or reading a chapter of your book every night.

Maintainin­g regular day-to-day schedule helps you finish work early and have time for rest and recreation.

Start a passion project

This may be the perfect moment for you to put your passion into action. With some free time and headspace, dive into what helps you relieve stress and express yourself comfortabl­y. Take the opportunit­y to set your goals, learn a new skill, build a small business, or jumpstart the tasks you’ve been putting off for months.

Celebrate small wins

Being stuck at home with no new stimuli can be a mind-numbing experience, especially when endured for a prolonged duration of time. Make sure to celebrate small victories to keep you engaged and motivated throughout the day.

Were you able to finish your work task on time? Have a scoop of ice-cream. Reached your goal of 10,000 steps in a day? Take a long, luxurious bath. Finally start a new hobby? Celebrate by sleeping in this weekend.

The goal is to reward your success, so you have something to look forward to every time you accomplish it — no matter how small it may be.
